BLOODY MARY BURGER

Adjust the ingredient amounts to suit your personal taste, just as you would with a Bloody Mary.

The ingredient amounts listed below serves four. 

• 1 pound premium ground chuck
• 1 teaspoon celery salt
• 2 to 3 teaspoons Tabasco sauce
• 4 inner celery stalks with leafy tops (the really tender ones from the celery heart)
• 4 to 6 shakes Worcestershire sauce
• 2 tablespoons ketchup
• 1 teaspoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
• 1 egg (beaten)
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 teaspoon horseradish
• 4 Hamburger buns
• 1 shallot, minced

OPTIONAL INGREDIENTS: 

• Caper Berries          
• Cocktail Onions   
• Green Onions
• Old Bay Seasoning   
• Smoked Clams (for  a Bloody Caeser Burger)

*In a large bowl, gently combine ground chuck, Tabasco sauce, Worcestershire sauce, ketchup, egg, horse radish, shallot and celery salt. Divide into four sections, form into patties and reserve.

*Finely dice celery stalks and place in a small bowl. Add lemon juice and oil. Toss and reserve.

*Grill burger patties to desired degree of "doneness". Toast buns as desired. Assemble durgers, topping each patty with a tablespoon of chopped celery.  

Assuming you have set up shop for the evening and will not drive for the next eight hours, chase your burger with a shot of vodka for the complete experience!!!!
